Original owner?

Have you done any modifications to the engine like an elephant hose modification or the GDE tune?

What grade of motor oil and filter have you been using?

How many miles before an oil change?

yes

segr

2 timing belts

elephant hose

just rebuilt transmission( clutches, pump, solenoid block, euro t.c., atf+4, ps switch/sensor, check valve) had a bit of a lag at times when hot or parked on angle from park to drive. better half said it stopped moving for her but I drove it off the tow truck and down to buddies shop to use his hoist.

received my gde hot tune and programmer January 10th 2014. will install Friday 17th when I get home from the bush (work). I will take it for a dyno pull to see before and after . btw shameless plug for buddy-------speedprohp.com-------

201,000 here and just put the first timing belt on. I bought it from the guy who bought it new and he knew nothing about these engines, never touched it and to make it worse he ran regular old 15-40 diesel oil. intake ports were so clogged you couldn't even stick a pencil in them. all rockers were seized. my wife calls it the jeep in a box because they had taken it all apart and had it in boxes in the back seat. the stock water pump was tight, the idlers and tensioner were tight. not knowing if it would even run I put a new timing belt on, stuck a set of used rockers in from a donor engine, cleaned intake put it together and it runs like a new one. im totally amazed. im gonna run it this summer and tear her down and give her a good maintenance upgrade. of course I gotta do a egr delete with the pipe kit on here, t'stat housing, a good hot tune, and tranny upgrade. but for now 201,000 and running strong completely stock with egr unhooked now.

I purchased my 05 in August this year with 104,300 on the odometer. According to the maintenance records it has had an EGR replaced and the detune flash from Chrysler. I have replaced the drivers side engine mount and timing belt, tensioner and idler pulleys this past week. Currently I am at 106,100.
